Blue Jays reveal peculiar lineup decision ahead of Mariners game

Overall, the Toronto Blue Jays are on a bit of a roll as they have won two games in a row against the Seattle Mariners, and today, they look to make it a full-blown sweep.

On Monday, the Blue Jays played their home opener and were sensational in a 5-2 win. Jose Berrios was lights out in this game, and the Blue Jays bats also stepped up to the plate, no pun intended. From there, on Tuesday, the Blue Jays won 5-3 with Chris Bassitt on the mound. In this match, we saw a home run from Bo Bichette. We also saw a return to form for Isiah Kiner-Falefa who had three hits following a truly rough start to the season.

Just moments ago, the Blue Jays unveiled their starting lineup for today's match against the Mariners. Yusei Kikuchi will be getting the start at pitcher. From there, some eye-opening moves were made as once again, Davis Schneider has been removed from the lineup despite his brilliance. Instead, the struggling Kevin Kiermaier will come in to replace him. Daulton Varsho is also starting, which is odd considering he and Kiermaier have struggled together.





For the Blue Jays, getting a sweep against the Mariners would prove to be huge. It would ultimately catapult them above .500 for the first time this season, since the opening game when they defeated the Tampa Bay Rays. Not to mention, three wins in a row would prove to be their best streak of the entire season.

The game today will start at 3 PM Eastern Standard Time. If you are in Canada and want to catch the game live, you can so over at Sportsnet.
